First, I must say WELL DONE to Dick for finding this. I did as you suggested and moved my INITIALIZE SUB to the top and it acted as it used to. Good catch. Marcus, can you weigh in on this? If this is indeed a necessary change to code the 7.4 executable then it opens up a whole can of worms in my sc...

I pasted the entire script below. The basic logic is to first run the SUB named INITIALIZE which sets the checkbox values to zero or nonzero values. The PARAMETER dialog box is then shown. When the user clicks OK a SUB called CAPTURE is run to capture the settings the user chose and then a URL is cr...

Initialize Dialog Box in 7.4.004

I have several scripts which present the user with a dialog box with many check boxes to specify options (about 15-30 boxes in dialog box). I run a Subroutine called initialize before I present the dialog box which puts "checks" in the most commonly used checkboxes and then allows the user to make c...

Thanks for the reply. I couldn't see how it was MSched but then again, nothing else makes sense either!

Generation of many temp files in MacroScheduler directory

I run a backup script at 2:58 am which renames old backup files and then runs pkzip (DOS version) to backup latest data.

No, I haven't tried that - but then again it has worked for a whole year and I have had this MSCHED version since December. It just started having problems in the last couple weeks (No, I did not install any software that I know of). I have done the uninstall/reinstall technique and am now trying it...

I have read up on this technique and I have two observations - one - yes it is powerful; and two - it is complicated. Makes one long for the old days: Set Focus, click and be done! I just finished re-teaching myself QBASIC so some of this makes sense and some it not clear. My immediate goal is to ju...

Thanks for the fast reply. Going to the second part first, I tried using CTRL f and it worked great - I never asked this question and have used the workaround for many many years. Just goes to show I should ask! On the main question - I have no idea what you are talking about. The web page is not mi...

Finding Text on HTML page - identifying X,Y coordinates

Thanks Marcus. It worked great. Is this command new? Does it mean I don't need to fool around with the entire capture routine - all items are automatically captured? - or is it my capture routine still needed?

Thanks again.

Dialog/variable Problem since upgrade to 7.3.10

Greetings everybody, I have this problem on an existing script that only started to happen after I upgraded to 7.3.10. The script worked fine on 7.1.1 and version 5.xx. Basically, the script creates a very large Dialog box (called PARAMETER) with hundreds of variables, checkboxes, and combo boxes. I...

I forgot that I had this post out there.

Thanks for the suggestions - I will try them the next time I have a failure (which hasn't happened for several weeks).

Thanks.

Macro can't find WIndows with wildcards

I have used MSched for about 10 years and have noticed a problem more frequently in the last year - my macros can't find windows with known names with or without wildcards. Hoeever, the problem is not consistent - sometimes my macro finds Microsoft Excel* and other times it won't but will find Excel...
